Our take
Thrift is the U.K.'s largest online second-hand fashion store and clothing donation service. The company is setting out to reduce the waste associated with the fashion industry by allowing people to easily donate their clothes while also supporting their favourite charities.
Thrift collects clothing from individuals and businesses, sorts, photographs & lists them on their online store. Sales generated through e-commerce are then split between Thrift+, the donor, and their chosen charity.
According to the CEO, Joe Metcalfe, over 50,000 bags of clothing are donated every day, which represent a market size of £1.4bn. Thrift is hoping to gain a significant share in this market and have recently raised £950k, which will be invested in scaling the operations associated with its clothing donation service.
